Trent Richardson Would Like to Have Contract in Place by Friday

Trent Richardson, the Alabama running back who was selected third-overall by the Cleveland Browns roughly three weeks ago, would like to have a contract in place prior to the start of minicamps which kick off this Friday.

In an interview with 92.3 The Fan, Richardson compared the last several weeks as a “movie” and a “dream,” neither of which he would like to end any time soon. A three-down, all-purpose back, Richardson is expected to step in and become an offensive weapon which would instantly upgrade a Browns offense that was among the league’s worst in production through 2011.

“I’m blessed and can’t wait to get to Cleveland,” said Richardson. “I’m a blue collar player and I’ve always been a blue collar person and I can’t wait to get to work and be a part of this Cleveland family.”

Why do we refer to these guys as “3-down backs”? That’s more than a little pessimistic (though maybe appropriately realistic for the Browns). Personally, I hope that Richardson is a 12- to 13-down back.

better than being drafted 6th and wearing #66

By saying ‘blue-collar’ twice in one sentence, Richardson successfully pandered to the hearts of suburban Clevelanders who romanticize the idea of being ‘blue-collar’ more than they actually like being ‘blue collar’.

I know. The spittle crowd loves decrying Quicken's loan practices...and by way of association....Gilbert. From what I know of Gilbert, I think it's a bit unfair. Also, the guy is almost single handedly revitalizing Detroit by making huge investments, redevelopment, etc. He's putting his money where his mouth is in that passion project....if he was […]

What was McCown's record last year? 1 / 8. Would you buy any product from a company if you knew that only 11 % of their products work? Would you eat at a restaurant iF you knew that only 11 % of the meals they served were edible, and the other 89 % were garbage? […]
